What are some of the best purchases of your life?

For me it has to be:

  1. Helix mattress ($1,217). Sleep is great.
  2. Home gym power cage & weights (~$1,000). Look good, feel good, get strong.
  3. Netgear Nighthawk AXE7800 ($339). No more random, annoying internet disconnects/slowness.
  4. Books ($0 @ library)
    • "Ultralearning" - Scott Young (how to learn efficiently)
    • "Enlightenment Now" - Steven Pinker (the world overall is improving)
    • "The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing" - Taylor Larimore (how to invest)
  5. PS5 ($500). So many great games like witcher 3, god of war, spiderman.

I'm searching for some more deep value purchases. Give me what you've got.

Do you have a photo? I'm picturing fat ear muffs and can't imagine you sleeping with those on.

Yup. They aren't that big but definitely uncomfortable for your neck. But the slight neck pain is totally worth it.

Haha that's madness sleeping with that. Glad it works for you though.

Haha how do you even use a pillow!? Insane trying to fall asleep with those on.

Some people sleep on their backs, in which case I could see these working. That said, these are worse for hearing protection than ear plugs.
